Activist, Stand-Up comedian Nidhi Goyal

Being an activist, being someone who is working for disability rights and gender justice, Nidhi Goyal believed comedy is the best tool to advance the space of activism. And also to the message across to others. She has known for her bold presentation of topics which most of the audience feel hard to speak them out.

Nidhi Goyal wants to inject the thought that disability shouldn’t be the reason for one’s sympathy for others. Suffering is not the only thing what the disabled people experience. Speaking out about the things that you think should never be stopped because of the awkward feel about that issue. For example, if someone wants to talk about the “PMS,“ they should never feel bad about what others think and should have known that it is such a common thing and there is nothing wrong in speaking about it.

Her Humor

More than her intention of more than shaking up people was more gently introducing them the topic. And sort of through humor to make people think and reflect. A lot of times, people start to perpetuate the thoughts and stigma that exist already or the mindsets that exist already, and we just don’t question. Exactly at this point, Nidhi Goyal has just tried to make them the question using her humor.

First time as a Stand-up comedian:

Nidhi Goyal performed her first show in Canvas Laugh Club. When she was on the podium, she ensured that no one of the audience knows that she is visually impaired. And, she revealed herself saying she is blind. The whole audience was in silence for 3 min. Understanding the situation, she went on saying “I am blind and I have no problem with it. Do u have any?” this shook up the audience and made them feel comfortable with her.
